Fulham 2-1 Brentford

Current streaks

Recent form

Fulham

Fulham's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the Cottagers showing both resilience and vulnerability in their last six matches. They've managed to secure 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, maintaining a balanced goal difference with 9 goals scored and conceded. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these games, highlighting Fulham's attacking prowess but also their defensive frailties. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in this period. Their matches have been evenly split between high-scoring affairs and tighter contests, with 50% of games seeing over 2.5 goals. A notable high-scoring game was their 3-1 victory over Newcastle United, showcasing their potential to trouble even strong opposition. However, Fulham have failed to string together more than two consecutive wins, indicating a lack of consistency that may explain their mid-table position of 10th in the Premier League.

Brentford

Brentford have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Bees have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly their 5-3 victory over Wolves and their 4-3 win against Ipswich Town, contributing to an impressive average of 4.33 total goals per game. Notably, both teams have scored in all of Brentford's last six matches, and two-thirds of these games have seen over 2.5 goals. Despite their ninth-place position in the league, Brentford's defensive vulnerabilities are evident, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine matches. Their goal difference stands at zero, having scored and conceded 13 goals in their last six games, averaging 2.17 goals both for and against per match.

Recent home/away form

Fulham

Fulham's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Cottagers struggling to find consistency at Craven Cottage. Over their last six home matches, Fulham have managed two wins, one draw, and three losses, indicating a somewhat shaky performance on their own turf. The team have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games, conceding an average of two goals per match. Notably, Fulham's home fixtures have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of the matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net in the same percentage of games. Their most recent home outing resulted in a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa, while their most convincing victory came against Newcastle United with a 3-1 scoreline. The heaviest defeat in this period was a 4-0 drubbing by Manchester City, highlighting Fulham's defensive vulnerabilities against top-tier opposition.

Brentford

Brentford's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the Bees currently on a three-match losing streak in Premier League away fixtures. Their only victory on the road came in a League Cup match against lower-league opposition, Colchester. The team have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just 0.83 goals per game in their last six away matches, whilst conceding an average of 1.67. Notably, Brentford have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five away games, with their sole clean sheet coming in the League Cup victory. The Bees have been involved in some closely contested matches, with three of their last four away Premier League games ending in 2-1 defeats to top-six sides. Despite their struggles, Brentford have managed to score in 67% of these away fixtures, indicating they can pose a threat even against stronger opposition.
